Yeah, so I still buy toys occasionally. I couldn't walk past this little guy (left) to update the old dude (right). The old fella doesn't look to pleased and this young upstart's 18 points of articulation and intricate detailing.
My irrational fervor for Halo has pretty much subsided, but every now and again I have a relapse.
If Peter Jackson's Halo got greenlit, I'd be first in line to see it though.
New kid on the block
Camping in the Bunyas
Went camping up at the Bunya Mountains, near Kingaroy, the other day - and all I got was this stupid cold...
It was pretty cool though. And by "cool" I mean frickin' freezing. Lou and I had to sleep under three sleeping bags all told. And the camp site was full by the time we set up; we missed out on a picnic table AND a fireplace, so we had to haul ass over to the day tripper's area for warmth & food.
But what experience is camping but a good reason to whinge. Makes you appreciate hot showers (or any kind of shower).
The Veronicas x 1 / 2
Hungover and tired, stretched awkwarkly across an oddly comfortable old futon, this was the only photo I was willing/able to take of Jess Origliasso, one half of The Veronicas. My Sisters took my to the last (for now) Aussie gig of The Follow, the lead singer of which The Veronica is currently, er, special friends with, I guess.
And yes, I managed to make an idiot out of myself in our only exchange with a dodgy-uncle-esque joke in less than 30-second flat.
Mission accomplished.
New style!
This is what my blog used to look like, long ago (when I had a website also... *sniff*):
This new style is less cheesy - just enough cheese, I'd say.
Wedding bells
Saturday, 19th of July I'll be making Lou a McCabe (and an honest woman :)
The reception is booked; after much trial and error searching for a venue. We had been waiting for another tentative booking the same day to resolve before we started planning anything else - now it's a case of cold panic!
We have just over three months to plan an entire wedding!
The venue caters for up to 100 people; we knew that if we invited everyone we'd be looking at 140+, so we've made the very heart wrenching decision that cousins will not be invited. A lot of friends we'd like to see on the list, won't be, either.
You can do it huge or you do it small. Massive ceremony under a marquee in a paddock somewhere (much like how a cousin of mine had her wedding), or elope. We've gone the middle ground; semi-traditional with a formal venue, ceremony, fully-catered reception.
Getting married by an Elvis impersonator in Vegas does hold a certain charm though!
